Greetings list,
First of all I want to thank Hans again for the great work he has done with providing an easy-to-install Pure Data extended application for OS X. However, I was having a few problems with his latest installer (Pd-0.38-0test4HCS1.dmg).
Running OS X 10.3.8, I couldn't get zexy, Gem, pmpd, or vasp to load via the Preferences>Startup menu. In fact, it crashed when I tried to load them that way, and I wound up having to write a Launcher script. (That was my solution at the time).
Some of the documentation (especially pdp or pddp) would crash PD in OS X because I haven't gotten them to run correctly.
Not all of the documentation for the extra libraries is easy to use for most users.
So, I took Miller Puckette's distribution and copied the extra libraries from Hans' version and placed them in a directory structure that made sense to me. Then I edited the Pd.tk script to add an extra menu for Gem and some submenus in the Help menu for the extra libraries. This was somewhat difficult for me, because I have rather limited experience as a programmer/scripter.
I have placed my new Pd 0.38.3 OS X application on the web. I would appreciate any feedback anyone has, especially about my changes to the Pd.tk script in bin. I have documented all my changes so they should be easy to find. If anything I have done goes against normal PD programming protocol or structuring, definitely let me know.

Yeah, that one is getting a bit old. I am going to update it soon,
whenever I find some time. If I could actually get paid to do this
stuff, that would save me from having to find a job! Someday...
I do have a laundry list of updates, bugfixes, etc. so the next one
should be better, naturally...
